To all when-t it may concern! Be it known that we, CHARLES H. AYER,FRANKLIN .l. linen, and RALPH E. Denny,

citizens of the United Stetes of America, residing at Mount Clemens, inthecounty of Me: comb and State of Miclngan, have invented certain newand useful improvements in Adf'ustablo Mirror-Supports, of which thefolowing is aspi-icilication, reference being had therein to theareompen ing drawings.

This invention particularly relates to toiletmirrors which are supportedbetween standerds upon articles of furniture, such as toiletburesus, andwhich permit of moving the mirror bodily out from between the supportsand to be'turned laterally and inclined at verious angles in anyposition into which it miiy he moved.

The invention consists in the novel construction of thesupporting-flirts res, involving an in'xprovcment in the means forhinging them to the supporting-standards of the mirror and also inproviding certain stops to limit the movement of the fixtures to preventinjury to the furniture or to the wall against which it is standing, ell8.8:!1019 fully hereinafter described, and shown in .the ac companyingdrawin s, in which Figure] is arcercievation of n toilet-mirror )rovidedwith our improved mirror-support. hig. 2 is a detached perspective viewof the universal-hinge connection between the nlirror-sup mrt and themirror-frame. Fig, 3 is a detached perspective View of the adjustablebracket-support. Fig. 4 is a partial rear elevetion showing a. modifiedform of bracket and bracket-s11 pport.

1n the drawings, A represents the vertical standards attached to the topof a toilet-bureau,and B is a toilet-mirror su p ported there on by apair of fixtures (3, which are duplimites o I each other and form thesuhject-met-' tor of this invention. Each fixture comprises a bracketineinber ll, provided with aliued aivots in. top and bottom and withmeans ior pivotally securing it in position on the standard toswingin avertical ilauc. To this end the u )per )ivot is provided with a fixedbearing-i mu l the lower pivot has an adjostahie hearing l whichconsists of a ilatc it, having moons for securing it to the hack of thestandard, and an ontrigwr-nrm b, slidingly adjustable thereon andorining a Step c [or the lower pivot of the bracket, all

so arranged that the lower pivot is laterally adjustable to admit of thenseofourfixtures on furniture of artistic design-es, For instance, shownin the drawings, wherein neither the mirror nor the standards have theconven-' tional straight vertical outlines. As shown in Fig. 3, the armI; is provided with stops d 2, so positioned in lt'liitloll to thebracket that the step d limits its rear movement to revcnt it fromstriking against the well against which the bureau stands, while theother sto limits its forward movement to prevent it from striking thestandards n ion the inside. Upon the swinging end of the )racket ispivotnlly secured an arm G, so as to swing in a horizontal plane. It isadapted to fold and rest on top of the bracket in the normal position ofthe mirror. To the end of this arm the mirror-frame is secured by-meensof 'a universelly-edjnstehle hinge connection com 'rrising the plate H,which is secured to the lyric k of the mirror-frame, and the link I,which is formed with two ears, one of which is iv otelly secured betweenthe forked ends 0 the plate H and the other between the forked ends ofthe arm G, the pivotal connections being respectively mode by a verticalbolt f and a. horizontal clamping thumb-screw g, which permit ofapplying suitable friction to the hugeoints.

In Fig. 4 we show a slight modification, in which the bracket has earsfor hingeconnection with its supports by means of bolts h, which formremovable hinge-pins for the bracket, and the outrigger isscrew-threaded into the late a for the mrpose of adjustability. s shownin the drawings, the arm E folds on top of the bracket, so that when themirror is in its normal rearward osition the arm will hear at its freeend on tile parts below, and thus relieve the hinges of a. portion ofthe weight of the mirror.

It will be seen that the construction herein shown and described forms asimple and -1uexpensive adjustable mirror-supIport which is easilyapplied and which is app cable to a greater variety of designs intoilet-bureaus then those in present use.

What we claim as our invention is l. A mirror-support for bureaus andthe like, comprising a pair of like fixtures, each com rising a bracket,an arm hinged to the bran et, a u 111' vorsnhhinge connection betweenthe arm and the mirror-frame, and supports hin edly connecting thebracket at its upper an lower ends withone of the supportingstandards ofthe mirror, the lower support being laterally adjustable. Y

2. A mirror-support for bureaus and the like comprising a air of likefixtures, each com rising a brac et, an arm hinged to the brao et andadapted to fold on top of the bracket, a universal-hinge connectionbetween the arm and the mirror-frame and supports hingedly connectingthe bracketat its upper and lower ends with one of thesupporting-standards of the mirror the lower su portbeing laterallyadjustable and provi ed with stops to limit the swing of the bracketthereon.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
